Flooded Home
Flood events are very severe impacts on life. In 2011(B.E.2554) Thailand flood occurred in the northern and central regions. Especially in the Metropolitan area is one of the worst flooding in 70 years from Bangkok floods in B.E. 2485. The flood has resulted in heavy damage to agricultural sector, industrial sector, economy and society. The water flows into the flooded areas in a wide, the streets filled with water, people bring the car to park up on high to escape the water. Traffic in all directions can't be used for voyage and people use boats instead of cars. The floods also results in consumer goods, especially the lack of clean water that is a very important factor in the life under the flood. My sister’s home who live at near Klong Bang Yai, Nonthaburi Province has a lifestyle that is associated with the river using boats as the vehicle. The construction of residential households often next to the river by a single storey house features a raised basement high to prevent flood water that goes in the house during the flood season of each year. Nonthaburi Province is an area that receives water from various provinces before draining out flowing into the Chao Phraya River. In 2011 more than 90 percent of the space in Nonthaburi Province be submerged under high floods, people to leave their homes to leave their house because the flood water situation, high severity gradually until it cannot live in their houses. On October 21, 2011 water flowing into the canal in front of the house and then steadily increases. On October 23, 2011 the water doesn't seem to decrease, which people began to keep things more appliances that are as high as possible. Two days later, the water level is higher than the water level in the canal about 2 meters and began pouring into the house, kitchen is the first to be affected because it is the lowest room of the house. In the following days, the water level is higher until starting to flow into the house to flood the room, flooded bedroom and everywhere in the house things in the house that were raised at the previous not to be high enough. The water began to flow up more that make a living in homes with high level of water is dangerous from animals that escape the flooded in to the house such as snakes and centipedes. The food cannot be cook because the kitchen was flooded their just wait for food from the government or organization to bring in to help. Suffered from flooding the house, it also includes the bathroom cannot use the bathroom is usually not flush the toilet as well as the water supply system is broken, the electrical system must be closed in order to prevent danger from electric current that may leak and deadly ones in the house. There cannot live at home anymore, had to evacuate from their homes and have to rent a home is a result of stress in their homes. The impact of the flood event home are teaching make know we should always to be ready to cope with any unexpected problems in life we have.
